Electron. /thread

Seriously, even John Carmack would probably use Electron because it provides the most value to customer per unit of effort input.

And the result is noticeable. Electron is becoming synonymous to shoddily built apps. Even though you can write buggier apps with native SDK, but the amount of works that been put into them elevates the final result. Not so much with Electron.

Isn't that just because Electron makes it so easy to build cross-platform apps? That's a reason to use it!

Yeah, just like Unity is becoming synonymous with shitty asset-flip games -- because it puts making games within reach of the laziest and least competent among us.

Electron has democratized desktop app development and put it within reach of everybody -- but having bad apps on it doesn't make it bad in itself. Remember, the most-used programmers' editor is also an Electron app!
